exception of very nervous old lady, who
was soon seated in the chair and swinging
in the air. When she was halfway up,
and the men were walking away with the
rope to lively tune on the boatswain's
whistle, the parrot sang out CLOVER away"
And lower away the men did, the old lady
sinking up to her waist in the water before
the mistake was discovered After this
the bird was put in close confinement.
In olden times parrots were often trained
by designing men for purposes Of sale.
Thus when Napoleon was.the conqueror Of
Europe, bird-fancier met him as he en-
tered Paris and held up bird that screams
cd q Vire FEmpercur" The great Cen
eral motioned the man to draw near, evil
IDENTIFY much pleased, when the bird scream
ed loudly, "Down with the tyrantr and
with its owner had narrow escape. The
unfortunate bird had originally been edu-
Gated for different order of things, but
the change in the fortunes of the great
General required a different sentiment,
with the above unhappy result.
In some parts of northern Africa years
ago it was the custom to employ large
balloons to hold torches at balls and various
entertainments given at night. On one
occasion the owner of half dozen of these
curious creatures gave ball, and had the
entire force seated upon bench, each
holding torch or fambeau. Everything
proceeded smoothly, until finally one of the
balloons probably dropped asleep, and al
lowed its torch to strike its neighbor In
stantly there arose dreadful shrek and
an indescribable odor of burned hair. The
victim, intent upon retaliation, struck the
sleeper violently with its torch, thus burn
ing another, and soon all the torch-bearers
were engaged in a sanguinary encounter,
and bowls of rage and agony completely
drowned the music and broke up the en-
tertainment.
Some years ago peculiar character in
London possessed huge baboon named
Jocko, that he employed as doorkeeper,
and when visitor came the monkey, that
was dressed in full suit red livery,
would open the door and carry the card to
its master In India and Africa certain
tribes consider the monkey to be either
sacred orequal to human being. A slave
once said: ''If had only held my tongue
like the monkey / should never had been
put to work.

LEAFLETS.


Oh. the beauteous spring-tlme leaflets,
How they blossom into life!
With what types of human progress
With what symbols they are rife.
Emblems of the first awakening,
OF the human life so frail,
Like our own life theirs is fleetlng-
Dying with the autumn gale.
Young andtonder-like the infant
Every day its impress leaves;
Like an infant fast expanding,
Are the leaflets on the trees.
But the germs of future beauty
Are concealed from mortal view
They are but the faint beginning
Ofthe work that's TODD.
Soon maturity of foliage
Makes a perfect, full-grown leaf
So maturity of manhood
Makes the babe mar in brief;
And throughout delightful Summer
Do the leaves their shadows spread
Ger the child that grew beside them,
Der the mans devoted head.
Then the lints of carly autumn
Give the leaves their gay attire;
But It's only vain dclusion,
For they all must soon expire,
So the eventide of manhood
Wears bright and joyous hue,
Only known to those who always
Have performed the work to do.
Now the yellow hue and pallor
That are known alone TO death
Greet the leaves still in their places,
And they fall at every breath,
Even so the day grows darker
To the leaflets COMMITTEEMAN
And from earth he quickly passes,
Having his allotment ran.
oh, our lives are like the leaflets.
They are fleeting, frail and vain.
And we know not what the morrow
May convey to us Of pain;
But the present-ever with us
Is our time 20 work and win,
Put not off until s0-morrow,
Or you nevermay beg'n!
Like the leaflets, fill your mission;
Trust to God for all the rest,
Ifyou truly do your duty,
You will be among the blest.
And when Autumn's sable mantle
Casts its shadows DER the earth,
You may fall as fall the leaflets
Bright and pure as at your birth!

TWO Sisters and Their Reaus.

John Quincy Adams and John Han
cock, 'the signer," married two sisters, the
daughters of noted Methodist divine in
Connecticut. John Quincy was favorite
with the old people, and Marys choice was
approved by them. So, when the banns
were published the parents said
"Mary, if you will furnish the text I
will preach you wedding sermon"
She was equal to the task and gave the
text: "Mary hath chosen the good part,
which shall not be taken from her. I"
Needless to say that justice was done to
the occasion and the text.
Not so with Margaret, who in the mean
while was receiving the attentions of her
John in very inexpensive way, as far as
her parents were concerned, for 1t is said
that "he never crossed his legs under their
festive board" So when the banns were
published she said to her father
Father, you preached a wedding SER
mon for Mary; cannot you preach one for
me ~
He at first demurred, but at last con-
scented and called for the text, when Mar
garet, who was equal to the occasion,
said,-
"And John came, neither eating nor
drinking, and yet yc say he hath devil"

The Stock Law.

EDITOR JOURNAL Please Gl-
low me n short space in your val
liable paper to reply to DR.. Ham
mond in the position he takes in
regard to the fence question. He
says that the petition that is be-
ing circulated in favor Of the
stock 'aw is in the interest of the
rich man. | think he is very
much mistaken. The stock law IS
5he poor mans law. The Doctor
well knows that the land in this
county is owned in large bodies,
from 200 to 1000 acres, and that
it would be impossible to divide
it into small farms aud furnish
timber for fencing it. Therefore,
without the benefits Of u no fence
law, a man must buy large farm
or own no land at all. OF the
1850 voters in Terrell county per-
haps 800 Of them own homes.
Under the present system but few
ever will; FOR il we are not able to
buy, say 200 acres, we are cut off
from the privilege Of having a
home. With the stock law in OPP
Grafton we could buy five, ten,
twenty or fifty ocres, and all, both
white ana colored, could have
homes of their own.
The Doctor says he is circula-
ting his petition in favor of "fence
and the poor man." The stock
law petition is also baiLg circnla-
ted in tho interest of the poor
man. II is the only law under
which the poor men of this coun-
try can, or ever will, have homes
The poor men Of orr county agc
the onas who help to keep up the
fences, while hundreds of theIn
do not own any stock al all. l.
lat justice? Under the fence
system man that owns 1000
acres Of land is compelled to sell
1t, perhaps, in one body, while
With the stock law in force it
could be divided up and made
iuto homes for twenty families.
Land in this county is cheap, very
cheap. 1t ia not the price OF land
that prevents poor men from own
ing homes. Ii is because no man
aio owns q large body of land
can furnish timber to fence it up
INTO small farms; therefore it is of
iittle benefit to the owner or any
one else. With the stock law III
force in this county ndIeds of
men, Of both races, woulJ 5000
own naat little homes, AMI theiI
int, est would then be identified
with that of the county. They
could then realize the true mean
ing OF the word "home,' aud uo'
